movie making tips (particularly speed)

movie making tips (particularly speed)

I was trying to make an ascii art movie that can just be 'cat'ed
on a vt100-compatiible terminal today, but I ran into a problem.

A movie which is supposed to take a good two minutes whizzes by
in just a second on my xterm. How can I slow things down? As an
experiment I added about 100k of nulls bewteen frames but that
didn't slow it down all that much.
